Notes
'Mrs. Henry Kalle' peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Mrs. Henry Kalle') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and perennial beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and loamy soil. It grows tall and upright and bears pink flowers. Abraham Nieuwenhuizen bred it. Stake the stems if the heavy blooms bend them.
Pairs well with Aromatic aster, Prairie dropseed, Phantom panicle hydrangea, and Black Hero tulip.
